Description
This is a picture of my grandmother: Javonia Louise Lester. We were very close... she was a gifted cook, with an uncommon sense of style in the South at a time when it was very difficult for Blacks to earn a living doing such things. Ms Javonia was well respected and rewarded by the majority group for her talents... many of which I was fortunate enough to inherit. I'm working on a painting in her memory; this will be my foundation.

Thanx, Linda. I loved her so much... she taught me so many wonderful things about the importance of "presentation"... she was so talented.
